This sounds strange to me. Can they really include something in the download (Java or JS, I assume) that detects whether an ad picture has been downloaded or not?

I'm very dissapointed that this wasn't simply solved by a mail from S. Schmidt to Linus Torvalds or Andre Hedrick -- look at all the bad press you've made; for BSD, for Linux and - for Open Source.

Here's a tiny summary;
- competition keeps people honest.
- Different taste.
- Different goals.
- And imperfect patch retention.
